4 Brave Woman.

A gentleman who was in the Dacus.
Vile section of Pickens County the other
day, tells Of an act of heroism on the
part of lady there. One day last week,
negro cabin on the place of Geo. W.
Cox, caught on fire. Mrs. Sallie Cox
discovered the blaze. She knew there
was sick child in the house, and its
parents we're away. She rushed into the
burning cabin, secured the helpless child
and ran out. As she rushed through the
door, part Of the building fell in, and
she was terribly burrcd. She saved the
child. but her own burns were SO severe
that it WAS feared she would not survive
them.-GreenviM Garoliaian.

Be manly, be honest in your dealings
withiyour pupils. Let boy know that
you suspect him of being rascal and
you take the first step toward making
him q first.class scoundrel. Teach a boy
that it is best to be frank and open and
honest at all times and under all circum.
stances, iby being frank and open and
honest yourself in all your dealings with
him. Never insinuate. The teacher
who insinuates that boy has been
guilty of wrong is as guilty as the mean
est boy in school. -

groomsmen, musicians, singers and torch
bearers. The marriage was always cele-
brated at night, and the bridesmaids
were provided with lamps to meet the
bridegroom when he came. On his arri.
val, he found the bride, bridesmaids and
company awaiting him. AS soon as the
actual ceremony was over, the entire
party returned to the bridegroom's house
with great rejoicing. When they reached
the house, they partook of the wedding
feast. The festivities usually lasted dur.
ing fourteen days. The groom not only
furnished the feast, but the robes ofthose
who took part in the ceremony.
Pioneer marriages in this country, not
a century ago, had some resemblance to
q Hebrew wedding. In those days the
marriage was the cause of great excite.
ment, and the whole neighborhood was
usually invited. AS the houses of the
bride and groom were generally far apart,
the groom started early in the morning
on a horse as highly caparisoned as the
times would allow. He was attended by
his groomsmen. The marriage generally
took place before noon to enable the
whole party to return to the groom's
home before dark. The home journey
was not always without incident. Ifauy
persons were not invited to attend they
were not at all backward about telling
trees in the road, piling up all kinds of
hinderances and firing off guns TO scare
the horses. Severe injuries wero thus
frequently caused, but braVely borne.
When the party were within few miles
of the house bottle race WAS arranged.
Two persons were chosen for this danger.
Gus ride. The most impossible road was
selected, and the riders started for the
house. Pell nell they went over all
kinds of obstacles, and when the fortu-
nate one reached the house he was
handed the much. priced black betty, as
the whiskey bottle was then called. He
then returned to the party, and after CIV
ing each of the groomsmen and even the
bridemaids drink, he put the bottle in
his jacket for future reference. When
the house was reached a feast WAS ready
for the party, who were usually hungry
after the long ride. The festivities were
kept up all night, till broad daylight,
when the feast ended.
The ring which is now so commonly
used at marriage ceremonies was origi-
nally, in England, made of iron adorned
with adamant. Being hard, it was sup
posed to signify the durance and perpet.
uity of the CONTRACT. The eminent
Swainburn speaks about this ring.
"Howbeitt," he said, "it skilleth not at
this day of what metal the ring may be
made of the form oft being round and
without end doth import that their love
should circulate and flow continually.
The finger on which the ring is to be
worn is the fourth finger of the left hand,
next unto the little finger, because there
vas supposed q vein of blood to pass
from thence unto the heart"

General Jones made the fact known to
Romaine, who respectfully but firmly
declined. This closed the correspon-

aged, now offered to sell the body for

ordered her representative to pay the
amount. They delayed matters until the
figure was reduced to $4,000, which was
accepted. The conditions of delivery
were severe. The messenger with the

INDUSTRIES OF MAINE.


Labor commissioner Matthews is keeping
record OF the remarks made on the re-
turns from the laboring men of the state.
l hese are Kept 10 book which is we'll ar
ranged for the purpose and conveniently in
dexed, and will appear in the forthcoming report
OF commissioner Matthews and be very inter-
estlng reading. The views and ideas of the
men IN the various departments of industry
are practical and important. Another inter-
esting feature of Mr.. Matthews work is a
n'iog history of families showing the expenses
and incomes of laboring people. This will
give the public an inside view of this ques-
ZION which will be of much importance. An
other part of the work upon which the labor
commissioner is engaged is table by
countaes showing the number
and kind of the industries in the State. All
THIS information is arranged in u most con-
venient manner for ready reference. All
THESE matters require great amount of work
and investigation, but will undoubtedly be OF
great Importance to the State. About $50
piohhe nave beeu sent out 10 summer lOLcie,
and the replies are beginning to come in now.
The Commissioner realizes that the returns
must at best be incomplete. And that many
private houses and camping places cannot be
reached at all. The returns, however, will
give basis upon which an estimate can un-
doubtedly be formed concerning summer Wis
itors to Maine, and the amount expended by
them in the State, which will more nearly
approximate to the correct figure than any
that could be made without such data to work
upon. The Office of this bureau is to ascertain
the true relations between capital and labor in
! order that the interests of the wage earners
may be best subserved by a knowledge of the
reciprocal relations between employer and
employee. No solution of these questions
can ever be attained without reliable statistics
from which can be evolved reasonably and
| tangible propositions To this end and in
order to place labor and capital in reciprocal
relations one dependent upon the other for
healthful progression and harm onious action
are these bureaus of labor statistics created.
